Why are you going the chemo route? I forgot how many times I heard that. I had to bite my tongue from saying Uhh, because my girl would have died without it!
Another classic one was "I hear that cottage cheese with flax, garlic and pepper cures cancer!" Really?! Tell me how I would feed that to a seven-year-old with cancer? Where are the survivors of this miracle cure?
Here is another one - "I would never do chemo!" With this one I tell the person Never say Never. You do not know what you will do until faced with the situation and knock on wood you won't.
The excuses are amazing. I am so sorry I did not call you. That was after almost three years of treatment. Give me a break. I learned early on that the rapid responding friends were the ones who had lived through cancer with a family member. The minute they got the news they came to the hospital. Our other friends disappeared quietly and there was no love lost. The friends we made through cancer ended up being fabulous and true blue.
Here is a hilarious video from a fellow cancer patient and it is titled What Not To Say To A Cancer Patient. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLqHirQi_rs
Thanks so much. I loved reading all of the stupid comments we hear.
Forgive me if this suddenly posts 5 times, I've been trying to get it to post all night...
Heard this beauty Friday at our local watering hole: "You're lucky you have insurance. You better hope he gets better before Obama's death panels decide he's too expensive to keep treating."
Check, please!
Oh MY Gosh, That one just takes the cake!
There is a thing called the Darwin Awards. Look it up on the internet. We should have a similar award for the complete lunacy that comes out of people's mouths regarding cancer.
I have not been in a physical fight since high school but if someone said that to me I think I would hit them. Seriously how do you say that to someone? Sorry you had to hear that and it probably was best just to leave.
Very timely thx. Here is my gem -how did grace take it when you told her she might die? ( ummm, she has a good prognosis, hope and she is 5! you think I would tell her that!!??)
Seriously AmazingGraceMom, I think I would have responded by asking "How do you feel about being told your about to die, 'cause I'm ready to kill you" ...I must be the mom on the boards w/ anger issues, because I never respond with kindness and grace when people are stupid and rude!
And Margaret, that one really, really gets me...as some one whose child reached their policy's 2 million cap within 3 months of diagnosis, we totally would have been in a bar brawl!!!!!!! Yes, at least Joey has insurance, I personally know the fear of having to face this without insurance...not a good position to be in!
DUMB, DUMB, DUMB, people in this world!
Hope you all have a wonderful, stupid people free Holiday season...Peace and Love,
Robyn, you made tea come out of my nose this morning with your comeback -- and that's a good thing, thank you! I tried to post a reply by email, but it didn't take so I guess that's not working either.
Anyway, Margaret and AmazingGraceMom, I'm so sorry you had to hear that junk. I've heard a few comments re: health care reform and Andrew's care as well. One jack*** actually said something like "You're lucky you're in pre-Socialist America. He'd probably be dead if you weren't." I'm not kidding. I told him that my virtual friends from this board who are in Canada, Australia and from around the world whose kids are receiving the same level of care as mine prove him wrong and left it that. Some people are just morons. Period.
I am with you! I cannot reply with grace or anything close to kindness. My husband is always the one who handles people better than I do. My thinking is if these people are that ignorant do they really deserve my kindness??? I know not the most enlightened attitude--but come on!!
My husband's been wanting me to post this one for a long time.
Back when Elke was on front-line treatment, one of the first times she was actually able to get out we took her to the talent show being held by her sister's elementary school (I think this was during DI, so she wasn't doing great by any means).
During intermission one father (who has serious foot-in-mouth disease) approached me and said, "Is it true?" I looked at him quizzically and said, "Is what true?"
Him:"What I heard?"
Me: "What did you hear?"
Him: "Um, the leukemia thing."
Me: "Oh yes, Elke has leukemia."
Him: [Face and body relax and he breaks into a smile]: "Oh, thank God! I thought it was you!"
Me: [Silence, with jaw dropping.]
Him: [Stammering]: "I mean, it's so much better that it's her than you. I mean, uh, not that it's good that she has leukemia or anything, but it would be much worse if it were you. [really stammering] I mean, I worked in pharmaceuticals, I know these things...."
Meanwhile, a good friend who has suffered through cancer twice was standing behind this father, waiting to speak with me, and the look on my friend's face was priceless -- a weird smile kind of like, "Is he really saying what I think he's saying?????"
Unbelieveable. Yes, every day I thank God that my child has cancer and not me. NOT.
As someone said in another forum, all of us would gladly take our childrens' places, but unfortunately, no one's offering us that deal.
People can be incredibly stupid. When my son was still on Prednisone (which made him hyper and moody), some woman in a store told me that I should teach him how to behave. I smiled and told her that I could teach her to mind her business. Why do people feel like it's ok to be so intrusive? I get it when it's someone I know and they're expressing concern, but for someone to tell me how to raise my kid, when they don't know what's going on...give me a break, I've got enough to deal with.
Deb Witter
You guys are awesome. I am glad there is this community. I have thought of a few more I've gotten -"a two year treatment?!" are you sure it's that long?"...yes, I was really listening to our onc when they explained the protocol.... And two- " grace's hair hasn't fallen out yet. Is the chemo even working on her??" And three-" she seems so healthy...are you sure it wasn't a misdiagnosis?" ...How many of us have fretted over this last one. Like for just kicks I am making my 5 yr old go through treatment. And yes I have had moments
Sorry. The thread bombed out. Yes I have had moments of second guessing if she has ALL but the test is conclusive. Last on "well, just be positive!"
I'll bring this topic back to life with this..
I can see why people who don't have a child with cancer can say stupid things, they really just don't understand or know what to say, that being said.. what is the excuse for fellow non-leukemia cancer parents?? They SHOULD know better, my favorite so far is "well, it's just leukemia" oh really...well its still cancer, may, that is circulating throughout the entire body. This statement would be equivilent to me telling a parent of a child with a brain tumor, "Its just a tumor..surgery can fix that"

One of last week's letters questioned the integrity and honesty of ROCC, those who testified in favor at the VIR hearings and the people who signed the Respect Ouray County petition. This letter spoke volumes about the signers of this mean-spirited letter and nothing about the people and organization that they were trying to dishonor.
The main purpose for this letter is to set the record straight about the Respect Ouray County petition because there were several incorrect statements about the "in favor" petition in last week's slash and bash letter.
Facts About the Respect Ouray Petition
• Total signatures: 329
• 311 Ouray County citizens signed the "in favor" petition
• No anonymous names. Signers who chose to be anonymous online had their full names submitted to the BOCC along with the petition.
• Eighteen signatures with non-Ouray county addresses who do not own property here nor reside here part-time: Many of these people regularly visit Ouray County and were aware of the proposed section nine revisions and the ROCC petition.
• ROCC emails included the address to the county online VIR information page. In these emails people were asked to research the proposed VIRs using the county website as a resource. This is a very informative, well-done page that presents both sides of the issue and includes the full wording of the proposed Section 9 revisions. They were then asked to sign the petition if they supported the revisions.
We should be working together in this effort as we all want what is best for our community. Many of us who moved here have seen the results of not planning for growth and know it comes quickly, is hard to regulate after the fact, and changes the character of a community.
Let's all work together for the good of Ouray County and incorporate the best ideas from both sides into the revised Section 9 Visual Impact Regulations. It is possible to cooperate and compromise.
– Roze Evans, Respect Ouray County Petition Administrator

Though this act of culinary defiance broke the school rules, he wasn't betraying any faith by gobbling pork-filled treats.
Sharp, now 30, was an atheist teenager and had atheist parents.
He had originally attended an Anglican boys' school, but got into trouble often and was eventually expelled.
His parents then chose The Emanuel School in Randwick simply because they thought he would be better off there than any of the other local schools.
''As soon as I went to Emanuel, because it was so small and there were girls there, I became more focused … it was a great school to go to,'' he says.
Having no religious conviction is increasingly common in Australia. A record 22 per cent of the country indicated as much in the 2011 census.
Yet the popularity of religious schools is increasing. Enrolments in independent and Catholic schools are growing faster than at public schools, increasing by about 1.8 per cent in 2012, compared with 1.2 per cent for public schools, according to recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
''It's one of the great paradoxes of Australian education,'' says Dr Helen Proctor, from the University of Sydney. ''We're one of the least-religious nations in the world, yet we have this large and increasing attendance of children in religious schools.''

Point guard: NU's Lindsey Moore vs. Duke's Alexis Jones
Were there any shred of doubt remaining as to just how good she is, Moore erased it with a 20-point, 10-assist performance at Texas A&M. Poised and aggressive when needed, Moore has elevated the play of teammates around her. Jones has started all year, but she's Duke's backup point guard, replacing the injured Chelsea Gray. She's good, but still a freshman. Edge: Nebraska
Shooting guard: NU's Rachel Theriot vs. Duke's Tricia Liston
More of a second point guard, Theriot has bloomed into a consistent second ball-handler and third scoring option for the Huskers' attack. She's no longer afraid to take — and make — the open jumpers given to her. Theriot's defense is fair, not yet great. As for Liston, she might score 20 points per game for a lesser team. As it is, she averages 13.3, hitting 47 percent of her 3-pointers and an impressive 93 percent of her free throws. Nebraska's been burned this year by good 3-point shooters — Liston fits that bill, and adds five rebounds per game. Edge: Duke
Small forward: NU's Hailie Sample vs. Duke's Richa Jackson
Here are two utility players who can do a variety of things for their teams. Sample is a perimeter defender and good offensive rebounder whose offensive game continues to evolve. Jackson is a slightly better scorer, but not quite as good of a rebounder. On paper, the players perhaps cancel each other out, but look for one to be an X-factor in Sunday's game. Edge: Even
Power forward: NU's Jordan Hooper vs. Duke's Haley Peters
The last 50 minutes or so of Hooper's season have been stellar; she's scored roughly 40 points in that span, making a number of 3-pointers when Nebraska needed them. She's become a consistent, hard-nosed rebounder this year. Peters, again, isn't asked to do as much for Duke as Hooper is for Nebraska, but if she were, she'd pull it off. Averaging 12 points on just 10 shots per game, Peters is Duke's top rebounder and a good passer. She also makes 46 percent of her 3-pointers. She'll likely draw the task of guarding Hooper. Edge: Even
Post: NU's Emily Cady vs. Duke's Elizabeth Williams
Cady's not a natural post player, but she does a lot of lunch-pail work around the rim. She's been a pesky help defender and good for the occasional 3-pointers. Williams is arguably Duke's best player, a true center who can score effectively but, perhaps more important, averages nearly three blocks per game. Her defense of the rim allows Duke's guards to play for more steals, and her low-post offensive presence opens up those same guards to hit 3-pointers. She'll likely be guarded by a combination of Cady and Hooper. Edge: Duke
The Huskers' top two guards off the bench, Tear'a Laudermill and Brandi Jeffery, are quick, energetic, exciting guards who can bring the Huskers a big lift — or hurt them with a turnover. Senior forward Meghin Williams has become a fine, hard-working reserve center. With the injury to Gray, Duke was forced to start Jackson, who is normally a good sixth player. Junior point guard Chloe Wells could get the start while Jackson comes off the bench, but she'll be listed here for the matchup. Reserve center Alison Vernery is 6-foot-5 and capable of giving Williams a brief rest. Edge: Even
The pick
In many years, Duke would have been a No. 1 seed, having won the ACC by three games in a talented league. But Gray's injury probably put the Blue Devils on the No. 2 line, slightly vulnerable to a team that has a good offensive night. Nebraska will need not only that, but strong defense and good rebounding against one of the nation's most efficient offensive teams. The trouble Duke presents NU is simple: a great post, and great 3-point shooters. The Huskers don't have a true post to defend Williams. So do they let her score and defend the perimeter, or hope that Duke has an off night? On this night, Nebraska fights — and falls a bit short.
Prediction: Duke 75, Nebraska 69

Readers find flood facts surprising
Results of Insurance IQ
More than 2,000 readers took ERIE's Insurance IQ quiz with great results. On average, ERIE Customers answered 7 out of 10 questions correctly, well above the national average of answering 4 out of 10 questions correctly in a similar quiz produced by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
For some readers, the quiz spawned questions and curiosities. Here's one reader's letter and ERIE's response:
Not in a Floodplain, but…
"I found the answer to the flooding question particularly interesting. I do not live in a floodplain, yet my basement could be flooded by intense rainfall. So, to discover that I'm not covered is not very comforting."
-Sandy Pate
Cumberland, Md.
How insurance responds to water damage can be a confusing subject. Most types of flooding are not insured by private insurance companies. The reason is that floods are too unpredictable to accurately insure against. Instead, a form of flood insurance is made available by the federal government.
Even so, flood insurance purchased from the federal government will only cover select damage in a basement, such as damaged furnaces, water heaters and other structural necessities. (Here's list of what is and isn't covered by the National Flood Insurance Program.)
Prevention is the best defense when it comes to water damage. Here's a list of things you can do to help avoid flooded basements and other water damage
Jailing the ElephantReaders view insurance fraud as a crime to fight
We received several letters in response to the fall '09 issue's article "Paying Attention to Fraud." The story unveiled fraud as the elephant in the room no one wants to acknowledge. Readers shared stories of times they've seen or experienced fraud and expressed much frustration about the topic. Here's what a few had to say:
Unexpected Behavior
I recently had to file my first claim with Erie Insurance after more than 20 years of coverage. I could not have been happier with the quick service I received. However, I was dismayed with a couple of my friends who told me I should report that certain things were damaged that were not so I could get more money. I did not and would not. What was most disturbing to me was that I feel these friends are good people. Yet, they thought trying to get money that was not valid from an insurance company was okay. I am not a perfect person by any means, but I certainly try not to cheat anyone. Fraud cheats everyone. Hope the article woke up a few more people to these facts.
-ERIE Customer
Total Shock
I read your latest Eriesense magazine with great interest. But, I was totally shocked to read that insurance companies lose $80 billion a year in insurance fraud claims. As a self-proclaimed moralist, based on your definition, I went through the following thought process when reading this article:
- Totally shocked
- Disappointed that so many insurance customers are involved in fraud
- Angry that I have to pay higher premiums to cover these fraud expenses
- What can I do to proactively help stop or report fraud? I am not personally aware of any fraud.
Laurel, Md.
It's true—$80 billion per year is shocking. But it's not only insurance companies that pay for those costs. Roughly $30 billion affects the insurance industry directly, while the remainder of that estimate comes from higher costs to cover investigations and lost opportunities for employment, according to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud. Fraud really is a crime that affects everyone—industries and consumers alike.
To answer your question of what you can do: be aware. Pay attention to issues of fraud that arise in the news and in your local community. Don't be afraid to talk to friends and family about the issue to help raise their awareness of fraud as a crime that affects everyone's pocketbook. And, if you do encounter potentially fraudulent activity related to
Erie Insurance, contact our hotline at 800-368-6696.

He's had a rough year. The church that used to employ him as a janitor burned down. So he tried to take up groundskeeping, but no one has had to mow anything for 6 weeks around here due to the lack of rain.
Still, no complaints. Nice guy. Just wants his refills.
Hi, Mr. Pabst. How've you been?
"I feel great."
Good, how much are you drinking?
"Pretty much all day long. But nothin' hard, just beer. I ain't no hog."
Through the entire conversation, he's been smacking his lips. Very rhythmic, not so subtle. Smack, smack, smack.
Mr. Pabst, whaccha doing with your lips there?
Smack, smack. "Eh? What do you mean?" Smack, smack, smack.
That thing you're doing with your lips?
Smack, smack. He points to his lips and looks at me like I'm 2 beers short of a six pack. "What, talkin'? You asked me a question, didn't you?"
Smack, smack, smack.
Got my answer, didn't I?

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
It doesn't have to be a new release, just a disc you finally found this year and are loving. For me its the hornet. It is a great overstable midrange. A mix of a buzz and a predator. Throws just as well forehand as backhand. For an overstable mid it has tons of glide. Has gotten me many birdies this year.
Views: 1485
Lat 64 Fuse is becoming one of my favorites so far this year.... This disc replaced my Buzzz and my Mako. It does whatever I ask it to do and does it easily.... My buddy Ron saw a great review that said this disc just goes basket hunting and after sinking a 40-45 foot anhyzer around a tree ... I have to agree... great disc!
Vibram Obex....great mid range disc! Two new ones in my bag!
I finally started using the nuke SS. I couldn't throw it for nothing at first... but then all of a sudden I got that snap behind it and it just keeps going and going, I went from only being able to drive about 250 feet to where I can hit between 280-320 with 350 being my farthest drive. I just started last year. Only bad thing I noticed about the SS is I turn it over in a headwind. I might have to pick up a regular nuke and beat it in a little bit.
I also picked up an elite x- XL... wow is all i can say, this thing flys great any direction I want it to, S curves, anhyzers, str8, long hyzer lines, works good as a roller to. I dont really care for the D XL cuz I turn them over, and the Z- XL is to stable for me to do anything I want with it- at least right of the bat, brand new (I can throw it str8 and hyzer but no annies). I use the X- XL for tight fairways as well.
Champion Katana. Anny bomber that will still fade every time, even into a headwind. Just fades more with a headwind. I loved it so much I picked up a star katana, which isn't even the same animal at all - the star plastic in this mold seems *way* more stable, even with less weight. :/
I noticed that in the starfire too
Really liking the Krait as of today :)
Blizzard Tee Devil 133gm
I've really been liking the Star Archon, got one as a gift last Christmas. I was starting to like it and then threw it into a pond. A couple of months ago a friend called me and he had found my disc in the pond, "would I like it back?" YES PLEASE!
Z - Predator !

All-Stars Perform the Elusive Synth Funk of William Onyeabor
- Full Price:
- $30.00 - $55.00
- Our Price:
- $15.00 - $45.00
An all-star lineup -- including David Byrne, Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Pat Mahoney (LCD Soundsystem), Kele Okereke (Bloc Party), Money Mark, Joshua Redman, Sinkane and the legendary Lijadu Sisters of Nigeria in their first live performance in 30 years -- takes the stage at the Greek to perform the futuristic, synth-heavy electronic music of elusive Nigerian artist William Onyeabor. The evening begins with a DJ set by special guest Wooden Wisdom (Elijah Wood & Zach Cowie). Onyeabor self-released eight nearly impossible-to-find albums between 1978 and 1985 in Nigeria, but after becoming a born-again Christian turned his back on his work and refused to speak about it for nearly three decades. Last year, after a five-year odyssey to track down Onyeabor and secure his permission to release his music, the Luaka Bop label issued World Psychedelic Classics 5: Who Is William Onyeabor? The album was named one of Time magazine's top ten albums of the year and Pitchfork's Best Reissue of the Year 2013. Even now, after the album's enormous success, the artist's life story remains a mystery -- and he seems content to keep it that way. Learn More

Chat with Microsoft Beat Journalist Preston Gralla (Video) 29
from the do-androids-dream-of-electrified-windows? dept.
Robin:This is Preston Gralla. He has been writing about Microsoft since about, what? 1820, is it?
Preston:Yeah, just about that, I think. It feels that way. That's for sure. I started when I was first the founding managing editor of PC Week – that was in the 1980s. As a matter of fact, it was so early in the days of the PC, the IBM PC revolution that our publisher had to give us a talk, gave us a talk to explain the purpose of the magazine and to say, "You know what, the IBM PC really is the business PC. That's the business standard." And we had to drive that home even to advertise this, because at that time, it wasn't clear that it was going to be the future. So yeah, I've been covering Microsoft for a while.
Robin:And obviously, they've changed just a little bit in that time, haven't they?
Preston:Yeah, just a little bit. You know, what's interesting about them now is that they are going through what seems to be the inevitable technology cycle of rise and decline. I mean, clearly under Bill Gates, what he did in the business sense was absolutely brilliant. The way he was able to build the company. And he built the company as many tech companies did in those days, basically on the bones of older technology companies, specifically more than the minicomputer companies. To a certain extent the mainframes but the mainframes were already being killed off by the minicomputer.
And then the PC came along, and started killing off the PDP 11s and all that, all the minicomputers. And now Microsoft, you can't say it is being killed off because it is immensely profitable and immensely powerful. Yet on the other hand, if you look for growth, it is not succeeding at all in the growth areas. So it seems to be – it is odd to say that it is in decline when its profits are still massive, but the truth is when it comes to technology influence, Microsoft at the moment, which is not sure if it will still happen in the future, but at the moment in terms of influence it is certainly in decline, if not necessarily in profits.
Robin:Should I admit to you that my notebooks, mine and my wife's, I went from Windows 7 to Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and back to Windows 7?
Preston:Oh, I am not surprised. I think that there are a lot of people who would like to follow you, because Windows 8 is really... I think Windows 8 was one of the worst mistakes Microsoft has ever made. It was trying to figure out how to face the mobile future – what it should do about the mobile future and it made the mistake of thinking that the ways the mobile future is basing everything around Microsoft Windows.
It seems to me that like it was that, you build an operating system in Windows that looks like a smartphone and tablet operating system, get people to use it on Windows but they go out and buy your smartphones and tablets. What Microsoft didn't realize is that they were building an operating system for traditional PCs and laptops that doesn't work. And so all they are doing is driving even some of their core customers away without necessarily gaining any mobile traction.
So I don't think your experience is unique and a lot of people wouldn't know how to go back to Windows 7, but I think a lot of people would like to go back to Windows 7.
Robin:Yeah, one thing I will say, let's take Windows 8, like Android and like the various Apple iOS contenders, they really built something for touchscreens.
Robin:Now I can poke my finger at my big monitor all day long and nothing will happen.
Preston:That's the point. That's exactly what I mean. They built it for mobile, and traditional PCs and laptops certainly today aren't mobile. I am not convinced they are going to be that way in the future. There will be some merging of them, but I still think there is a difference between working on a larger computer and working on a smaller very very portable one.
Robin:Let's say a 14-year-old, or a 12-year-old, what would you get them in the way of a computing device?
Preston:You know, it depends what they are going to be using it for. I still think that in terms of doing actual work, doing school work, writing papers, maybe using spreadsheets, creating presentations, doing all the things that people are doing in school today, that's a lot like are being done in business, I think for them I think some kind of laptop is probably the best. Now whether it comes to for cost, I would probably opt for some kind of Windows 1, if you really want to spend the money, you can buy Apple, but Apple is a lot more money.
So if it was me, and which is what I did by the way, both my kids ended up with Windows, various Windows computers when they were growing up here. So I would probably still opt for that reason. I know kids would probably rather have a tablet but I just don't think that you can get as much work done on a tablet as you can on a traditional laptop these days. Not yet anyway.
Robin:Okay. Well, my grandchildren the daughters who are at that age, they disagree with you.
Preston:I know.
Robin:It is that you and I because we are old people, we can't type on screens, we need keyboards. They can type on touchscreens.
Preston:Yeah, it is probably what, I guess, the kids want as long as the parents see they are actually being productive with it and getting the work done.
Robin:Well, the thing, is our household, our households are multiple, across multiple cities, are moving towards Android and the Hewlett Packard, HP that is, prints utility. And if you had it, you can directly print wirelessly. What about gifts? Do you have any good idea for Christmas gifts for the less technically enlightened?
Preston:I think the less technically enlightened, if you can spring forward, I think tablets are good. I really like for gift you know, iPad is a pretty expensive gift; a Nexus 7, the latest Nexus 7 I think would be really nice. I think that's a really nice tablet. Android is a little harder to use for most people I think than iOS. Because it's a lot more customizable, the hardware isn't quite as well integrated with the software I think but still it shouldn't take too long to get used to it. So I'd probably because of the combination of price and usefulness I'd probably opt for a Nexus 7.
Robin:Okay, now you write back and forth between, about Windows about Apple heavily. You are pretty broad out there, you give everybody a chance to hate you.
Preston:I succeed at it too, I think.
Robin:Oh yeah, yeah. Which one do you like personally for yourself? Now you have mostly Apple portable devices, am I right?
Preston:Actually I have everything. I have for traditional computers, I have Windows computers. I have a Surface Pro and a Surface tablet and I have multiple Android tablets and I have several iPads. And phones, I go back and forth between – I've used Windows phone at the moment, I am using an iPhone, and I have used Android phones a lot because I've written a lot of books about Android phones.
So you know, I think when it comes down to at this point for me, is for my workaday computer, it is still Windows. When I am mobile, when I'm out,because I work at home, I can go kind of batty in house all day, so I get up and go out cafés and work there. There I usually bring a MacBook Air with me. And then for tablets, I am usually going back and forth between an iPad, a Nexus 7, but I also like the You know, the Surface, especially the latest Surfaces when you combine it with those, really nice board covers, it is actually pretty good for what you might call a productivity tablet – a tablet that can double as an Ultrabook.
So I kind of use them all, depending on what I am doing at the time. What's nice is the cloud and the internet. It makes it possible that you don't need to be tied to one computer, you don't need to be tied to one platform.
Robin:What would you do? You have so much stuff. Okay, for your kids, so you get them a Nexus, I mean not for your kids, but a putativekid.
Preston:Yeah, because of the price, I would get a Nexus. I mean, kids reallyI've noticed really like iPads – there is no way around that. But they are just a lot more expensive. So if you have a fat wallet, I would probably get them an iPad just because it is probably what they really want. But if you can't afford an iPad, I would go with the Nexus 7, because it is really affordable and really good.
Robin:Okay. So you get the Mac? Does everybody need to learn to program?
Preston:No. I don't think so at all.I know that there is a big movement towards thinking that everybody needs to program. In fact, I don't think you need to program unless you want to be a programmer. The truth is there are so many apps that do almost everything you want that you don't need to program. In fact, I think the whole future of technology is the ability of people to start their own businesses without knowing not just programming it used to be if you wanted to start your own business, and be a small business, you had to be not only a businessman, you had to be an IT stack as well.
Well today, you talked about Google Drive – a perfect example. Look at what they are able to get with Google Drive – something that years ago, they would have a datacenter for it. Well they don't need a datacenter anymore, because now it is in the cloud, and Google Drive. And what you are also having is all these services being outsourced via the cloud. You can do anything. Data counting. Anything you want you can get outsourced on the cloud. And so why bother to learn to program, if you are not going to be a programmer? I just think that it is really not particularly useful.

Often an artists biography is full of buzz-words, wildly sweeping statements & unabashed claims of influencing a generation or changing the face of their chosen genre. Very few can say it with the conviction and sincerity of British born lyricist & producer Jehst. With a sound comparable to none, Jehsts entrance onto the domestic Hip Hop scene truly gave birth to a new breed of wordsmith. His debut release Premonitions (1999) on his own YNR (Young N Restless) Productions imprint instantly allowed the then 19 year old to establish himself as a fiercely independent artist with an unparalleled grasp on language. Painting vivid images with a turn of phrase so many since have tried and fallen short of replicating. With the arrival of The Return of The Drifter (2002) Jehst truly became one of the seminal figures in a flourishing scene, spearheading a movement of artists that would kick open the doors for homegrown Hip Hop to become as vibrant & healthy as it is today. His debut full-length release Falling Down (2003) is widely recognised as one of the most-influential Hip Hop albums to ever come out of the UK. With a captivating stage presence to match his studio persona the self-styled High Plains Drifter fast became a cult-phenomenon on the live-circuit, garnering a reputation that would go on to see him billed alongside some truly iconic artists; from living legends of Reggae Lee Scratch Perry and Max Romeo, to Hip Hop pioneers KRS One and De La Soul and todays Dubstep super-stars Skream and Benga, to name a select few. It was during a run of relentless live-performances that Jehst released his next solo outing Nuke Proof Suit (2005). Despite its brevity, this 8-track milestone spoke volumes, not only about Jehsts own musical direction but also the tense atmosphere of post 9/11 London. This was swiftly followed by his highly anticipated production project Underworld Epics Vol. 1 (2006) which showcased the lyrical skills of peers and pioneers alike while solidifying Jehsts own reputation as a producer in his own right. This period signaled a shift in focus for Jehst as he turned his attention from the rhymes to the beats, establishing his own studio and developing the YNR roster while continuing to tour intensively. Now, in 2011, Jehst is back in the spotlight with his new album The Dragon Of An Ordinary Family a welcome return for a bonafide UK legend. Far from just a local hero, Jehst is a name known globally with an influence reaching far and wide from Americas underground to Australia and back again, with fans including everyone from Pharoahe Monch and Gilles Peterson to Rusko and Hudson Mohawke. The lead single Starting Over is already a talking point with its iconic video and viral campaign and with the imminent album launch party at Londons prestigious Fabric, a gatefold double-vinyl package for the dedicated crate diggers and the debut of his full live band set-up planned for this summers Outlook festival, its set to be yet another big year for Billy Brimstone!

I think the brown sugar will make this a much moister and a richer flavored bread. Difficult thing is I love fried bananas so when I get bananas it is a toss up between letting some get a bit over ripe of tossing one or two in a fry pan with some butter and sugar. I usually don't have a problem because my daughter won't eat bananas once they begin to get a bit soft. Just when I think they are at their best! So I often "pilfer" bananas from them.This recipe will be at the top of the list with the next batch of bananas that I get.
I sure agree with Nikki --- I'd rather make a bundt. Springforms make me nervous

SOURCE Centinela Hospital Medical Center
INGLEWOOD, Calif., Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Centinela Hospital Medical Center, an affiliate of Prime Healthcare Services, is proud to announce that it was ranked among the top 25 hospitals in the nation by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Hospital Value-Based Purchasing program. It is one of only two California hospitals ranked among the top 25. A hospital's individual score within the Value-Based Purchasing program for fiscal year 2014 was focused on three main areas: Clinical process of care, patient experience and outcomes.
"This CMS ranking shows Centinela Hospital Medical Center's commitment to the highest quality of care," said Linda Bradley, the hospital's CEO. "I congratulate the physicians, nurses and other employees for their dedication."
Congress authorized inpatient value-based purchasing as part of the Affordable Care Act, in an effort to link Medicare's payment system to improve healthcare quality.
"Centinela Hospital Medical Center is an excellent example of how our evidence-based standards and proven clinical protocols produce top quality healthcare," said Prem Reddy, MD, FACC, FCCP, Chairman, President and CEO of Prime Healthcare Services, which owns and operates CHMC among 25 acute care hospitals nationwide.
The program will implement value-based purchasing to the payment system that accounts for the largest share of Medicare spending, affecting payment for inpatient stays in over 3,500 hospitals across the country. Hospitals will be paid for inpatient acute care services based on the quality of care, not just quantity of the services they provide.
"This ranking by CMS continues to recognize our hospital for high quality of care. Centinela has already been recognized as one of the "100 Top Hospitals" in the nation," said Paryus Patel, MD, Chief Medical Officer of CHMC & Prime Healthcare. "Our primary goal is to deliver & achieve the best clinical outcomes for our patients in the most cost-effective manner."
